London Special: At the session OF the
British association at Manchester, Prof.
Macy. OF Iowa college. said: There never
has been in the United States that degree
of Capitalization power experienced in
this country. Separate states had always
had a large degree of local power with
which the central power had nothing to
do. In the town and county the tendency
was not in the direction OF Capitalization,
but as related to state government it was
quite the reverse. He did not believe that
their democratic institutions could sur
vive il there came to be such centraliza-
ton OF power as seemed to exist in this coun-
try.

If we are compelled to such course of
life that their constitutions are broken

they reach the years OF maternity. A Mas.

The Poor Little Ones,

We often see children with red eruptions
on face and hands, rough, scaly.skin, and
often sores on the head. These things in.
dictate a depraved condition of the blood.
In the growing period, children have need
OF pure blood by which to build up strong
and healthy bodies. II Doctor Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery" is given, tho
blood is purged Of its bad elements. and
the child development will be healthy,
and as it should be- Scroiulous affec.
tions, ricketts,, fever-sores, hip-joint disease
or other grave maladies and suffering are
sure to result from neglect and lack OF prop.
er attention to such cases.

Life on the Texas Border,

None of the houses belonging to the Next
cans are very extensive, though many of
them are quite comfortable, while others are
the veriest novels. How they manage to live
in some of them is mystery. One old man
lives in a cave near the creek He is appar-
emily very aged, and during his whole life
had been Il cowherd until age prevented his
persuing that avocation any longer The old
man is blear-eyed and deaf, wears sandals in
place of shoes. and owns an immense straw
hat which he has apparently used for years.
His hoarse voice frightens the children, and
his poor, thin blanket affords but little pro-
lection from the biting north wind Never
having known anything better than his
present condition, he takes it as a matter of
course, and scorns the copper cents which are
given to him in charity. If his countrymen
cannot do better than that he prefers having
nothing. He ordinarily carries bag over
his shoulder, into which donations of every
kind are poured without much reference to
congruity In his day he has been a great
horseman, judging from bis bow legs, on
which, with the help of a cane, he totters
along. Once saw little girl with him. and
could not but reflect what life of poverty
was in store for her. This old man has seen
many vicissitudes, stretching back to the time
when comparatively little was known of the
interior of Mexico Chihuahua Mex Cor
Chicago Times.

worth of clothing and gentlemans fur
nishing goods, which are worth double.
The particulars are briefly these: A
large clothing dealer in Grand Rapids,
Mich, failed about six weeks ago, and
his stock of abo ut $1,000 worth of mems
and boys clothing and gentlemen's fur
nishing goods were replevined by Messrs
Spritz, Mork s. Co., and other Boston
dealers. This stock was bid in by Mr..
Loeb at figure making il an extremely
easy matter to meet all competition,
''and go them one better" Every avail
able inch Of space in every department
is crowded TO its utmost-suits stacked
upon tables until they creak under the
mass of bargains. All must go. Prices
must perish. The money locked up in
these goods and the room occupied are
patent reasons for realizing Immediately.
By extra effort the Golden Eagle force
will have the goods in shape for sale by
Saturday, the 26th, and with additional
help will open the doors on the grandest
bargain sale Rock Island county ever
knew. First come, first served. Watch

RICHMOND, Va, March 23-Some time
ago MIR. W. L. Royal, counsel for the Brit
ish bondholders, sued the grand jury of the
h ustings court of the city of Richmond for
damages for indicting his clients, who had
rendered coupons in payment for taxes.
Thereupon the state attorney for Richmond
filed bill of information against Mr. Roy
all under the state law of barratry, and
upon the ground OF intimidating the grand
jury. Mr.. Royal was tried Monday and
fined $50. Mr.. Royal refused to pay the
fine oil the ground that the law under which
he was tried was unconstitutional. He is
now IN the custody of the court and will
probably go to Jail until the arrival of Judge
Bond, of the United States court, when an
application will be made TO secure his release
by writ of habeas corpus
